I wanted to follow up on this now that we're a few days removed from Paris.
It goes without saying, we're all disappointed in the result that was the culmination of improper preparation. There is no excuse for our performance as a team, nor my inadequacy when leading the guys this time around. We've let down our fans and our org with the standard we displayed, but we intend to fix it.
I believe wholeheartedly in our ability to respond when needed, and there's a strong sense of need circulating in our camp at the moment. All we want is a special end to the season, and I promise we'll do everything in our power to make it happen, in the form of getting our hours up and making sure we're structurally sound. Thanks for the support, and see you in a few months for EWC and Worlds.
🇫🇷PARIS MAJOR Thoughts🇫🇷
-Just wanted to say that this was the Best Overall experience for Fans to watch ever. The production was absolute gas, RLs BIGGEST announcement ever, the Ring Light Walkouts, the crowd was PEAK, the Stage (lights around the stage), to the drone flybys, etc. Well done. This shows such promise in this game for years to come. Felt like a Huge Breath of fresh air❤️
Only request is we don't wanna hear "BUST IT OUT" anymore🙏

@HalfwayDeadRL To the last part, I think it showed that there was a future for RL, saying “we knew it was coming” with no confirmation is not a guarantee
Epic have shown their hand now, since the time and resources it takes to go to UE6 is a huge commitment, and they think RL is worth that
people are being way too shortsighted about UE6. yes, it’ll probably arrive around 2028, but that’s missing the bigger picture entirely. the real impact is what this announcement does right now for rocket leagues future. It signals to players, orgs, investors, creators, etc that the game isn’t going anywhere. rocket league now has a confirmed long-term future, and that alone is going to drive more people to invest time, money, and effort into the ecosystem. honestly, the community just needed hope. this announcement proves epic still cares about the product, and that reassurance is massive for the health of the game. It gives players confidence that the passion they pursue everyday will still be around and thriving years from now, which makes pursuing content, esports, and other opportunities around the game feel far more sustainable. and that’s before even talking about what UE6 itself could bring feature-wise or the possibility of UE5 being used as a transition phase beforehand. for the future of rocket league, this was pretty much the best announcement we could’ve gotten. nothing else would’ve matched the hype or restored this much optimism around the game, it’s all a massive snowball effect.
Genuinely so happy with the direction this game is taking. If you care about this games future as much as I do, please tune into the Rocket League stream tomorrow and get prepared for the BIGGEST announcement yet right before Semi-final 2, I promise you wont be disappointed.
